Quick Answer
Hunting bobcats during full moon nights is not recommended due to decreased visibility and increased human disturbance, making it a less effective time for hunting these nocturnal predators.
Optimal Moon Phases
Hunt bobcats during crescent or gibbous moon phases when the moon is below the horizon to increase your chances of success. This allows you to take advantage of the bobcat’s natural nocturnal habits without having to contend with reduced visibility. Aim for moon phases with a moon age of 2-4 days for optimal conditions, as these periods often coincide with active bobcat behavior.
Hunting Techniques
When hunting bobcats, it’s essential to employ techniques that cater to their nocturnal nature. Use spotlights or night vision equipment to locate bobcats in their natural habitat, and consider using bait or scents to attract them to your location. When setting up, position yourself in areas where bobcats are likely to travel, such as along ridges, near water sources, or in areas with high prey concentrations. Consider using a tree stand or ground blind to conceal yourself and increase your chances of a successful hunt.
